Mobile storage solutions like SafeRak industrial powered racking get rid of a warehouse’s greatest waste of space: the aisle. By reclaiming 50 percent of a warehouse’s storage space, logistics teams can take on more contracts and more products, which in turn, leads to increased profitability.
Adhering to tight schedules and tight corners.
Finding available space for products and materials is just as important as making certain that area can be accessed easily and quickly. Eventually, everything loaded on a warehouse shelving unit will be shipped. But if logistics teams take on extra products, they’ll have to balance their inventory with an active staff and precise scheduling software. Smart storage solutions can complement both of these things.
Mobile storage gives warehouse workers and managers the freedom to move tons of product at the push of a button, allowing crews to manage shipments without sacrificing time or energy. Additionally, industrial storage solutions were constructed with the job in mind. Employees driving forklifts or handling other types of lifting equipment won’t be restricted by close quarters. Wide openings can accommodate industrial equipment or any number of employees.
Smart storage never forgets about employee safety.
With such heavy pallets and powerful machinery about, logistics managers must always consider their employees’ safety. Mobile storage equipped with SafeAisle technology prevents racking units from closing if sensors detect movement or an obstruction. There isn’t an override option either, so when employees or supervisors try to close the aisle and can’t, they know just what they’re looking for. Apart from protecting workers, SafeAisle also secures assets. Should a box or pallet fall to the floor between open mobile racks, employees won’t be liable for accidentally damaging goods by retracting the units. This can save warehouse’s significant money in risk prevention by building it directly into the storage equipment.
Like the industry itself, third-party logistics storage must be as versatile as it is indestructible. As for the structure of the storage units themselves, depending on the model, a single SafeRak unit can hold between 16 and 30 tons of product. For logistics teams, a stronger rack means additional options for stocking products in limbo while they wait for distribution.
